Abstract

An apparatus for angle-based localization of a position on a surface of an object includes an orientation sensor configured to be arranged in a known relationship relative to a position, to be identified, on a surface of an object at at least one measurement time and to capture angle information items in respect of the current orientation thereof at the measurement time, and a programmable device, with a processor and a memory, wherein the memory contains instructions and at least one assignment prescription for the object with the surface, where angle information items are assigned associated positions on the surface of the object, and wherein the instructions cause the programmable device to receive the angle information items captured at the measurement time by the orientation sensor and to establish the position to be identified by an assignment to the captured angle information items on the basis of the assignment prescription.
